At least one person was killed and nine workers were unaccounted for following the implosion of a chemical tank at a pulp and paper mill in southern Washington state on Tuesday, local authorities said.  The tank’s rupture at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. facility in Longview, a city located along the southern Washington border with Oregon, injured eight employees and one firefighter, the Longview Fire Department said. The department didn’t say whether the person who was killed was a worker. Officials said the families of all nine employees who remain unaccounted for have been notified. A spokesperson for PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview confirmed to CBS News that the hospital received nine patients from the incident, one of whom was deceased.

Four others have been transferred to the Legacy Oregon Burn Center in Portland, Oregon, PeaceHealth said. Legacy Health confirmed to CBS News in a statement it was treating patients from the incident, but it was not clear if there were any others beyond the four who had been transferred from the PeaceHealth facility. Authorities said some victims had suffered burns or inhalation injuries, and that the severity of the injuries ranged from minor to critical. Authorities said there was no immediate threat to the public, but the tank’s unstable condition is “creating hazardous conditions for emergency personnel.”

The search has been suspended for five missing crew members of a U.S.-flagged cargo ship that overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during a typhoon, authorities said Wednesday. Six people were aboard the 145-foot ship, called the Mariana. Divers on April 21 recovered one crew member’s body from the overturned ship. “We are deeply saddened to announce that despite widespread efforts, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our search for the missing crew members of the Mariana,” Cmdr. Preston Hieb of the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District said in a video posted on X.

“We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of the Mariana crew, as well as the entire Saipan community.” The search lasted more than 100 hours and covered an area larger than the state of California, he said. Last week, officials released dramatic video and photos showing members of the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard searching for the missing crew. The footage and images showed pararescuemen preparing to conduct dive operations. The teams also used a remotely operated underwater drone to search the interior of the ship.
